Back in February, Trump said the virus could “maybe go away. We’ll see what happens. Nobody really knows.” Using his Nostradamus levels of foresight he confidently predicted that it’s “going to disappear. One day it’s like a miracle – it will disappear.”
This incredible statement not only provided people who hang on his every word with false hope but also highlighted Trump’s obvious lack of understanding of how ‘science’ works by severely understating the scale of the problem with an unfettered optimism that has no basis in reality.
Trump’s false reality has been repeatedly contradicted by public health experts, including his own health advisor, who predicted the sharp increase in Covid-19 infections. A spread that can only be stopped in its tracks by social distancing measures and the shut down of large gatherings.
China, who is believed to be ‘country zero’ for this pandemic, instituted the most severe crackdown on the movement of people. Even with these measures implemented as the severity of the outbreak became crystal clear, it has still taken several months for these measures to make a dent in the number of cases of coronavirus.
Dr Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has tried to roll back Trumps vocally flippant pronouncements and Americans should take note. The fear and confusion of outbreaks are not new to Fauci, who, in more than 30 years has handled HIV, SARS, MERS, Ebola and even the nation’s 2001 experience with bioterrorism – the anthrax attacks.
He has become the trusted voice in the United States when it comes to separating fact and fiction, recently saying “You’ve got to be realistic, and you’ve got to understand that you don’t make the timeline, the virus makes the timeline,”
It was completely predictable: the world is suffering from a pandemic at the time the USA has an idiot for president. When will we ever learn? The citizens of this country are no longer capable of choosing their own commander-in-chief.
Something of this nature was bound to happen. What do we have leading this nation in this time of crisis? A total idiot. The people of this nation do not appear to be capable of choosing our leader.
Donald Trump at the helm of this nation during a world-wide pandemic, still spreading his ignorance. God help us all.
I love this article! Kiddos to whoever wrote it. Finally, the facts along with Trumps actual statements are in print for everyone to read!
65% of Americans polled believe Trump is doing a great job. The vast majority of these individuals are Republicans.
Fox News is partly responsible for this. However, a great deal is due to the ignorance of Americans.
We are fortunate to live in the greatest country in the world and take it for granted.
We have a responsibility to honor and protect our democracy.
We have allowed a snake oil salesman to turn the United States of America into a third world country through racial bigotry, economic inequality, and greed.
God will save His children and will not be mocked by a man who claims to know God.
So-called Evangelical Christians need to wake up and speak out against his presidency rather than behaving like Pharisees and Sadducees. God did not place him there!!!!
God’s plan for our lives will come to fruition if we believe in Him.
Please, pray for our country and our world.
Be blessed.
Churchill – “We will never surrender.”
Roosevelt – “We have nothing to fear but fear itsel”
Kennedy – “Ask what you can do for your country.”
trump – “I take no responsibility.”
AT same time the Congress left session and abandoned their constituents. They are too infested with racism and xenophobia that it’s truly hurting America. I wouldn’t lie to you. Most of them are motivationally deficient and differently logical and therefore not worth their salt. They did nothing for the prior h1n1 and swine flu pandemics and could not concieve any plan that is workable.
